No doubt the Taurus V6 is a much nicer instrument than the Buick job- Iwas reading in the current motor that the Buick v6 in question dates all the way back to 1962. Was axed in 1967 and brought out of retirement in 1975, before finding it's way in to a Holden in 1988. It's a pig and Holden have done wonders to make it work as well as it does.

That said I do agree in that if a motor is meant to fitted East-West it should probably stay that way.

Given the vintage of the buick v6 wouldn't it be likely it started out as a North-South engine?

The Commodore V6 Revs all the way too the limit pretty quick. and willy happily bounce off the limiter for extended periods of time.

I wonder why ford Oz has stuck with an I6 For so long.

What about the new V8 minus 2 cyls. ??

i think you'll find the holden engine sucks the big one compared to the falcon i6. the i6 has more power, lasts longer, better technology, and well, is generally a great engine! the holden v6 is a dying engine... it has been dying for years now and soon will be dead thankfully.
